C
Once placement is confirmed, a mark should be placed (either by making a red mark or using tape) on the tube to indicate where the tube exits the nose. The mark or tube length is used as a guide to indicate whether displacement may have occurred.
The tube should be taped to the nose, not to the ear.
The tubing should be secured to the client's gown, not to the bed.
The tubing should not be changed daily; it may be irrigated daily.
